Bernard J. Duroc-Danner, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We continue to make rapid and deep cost progress and drive structural change, while effectively redirecting our culture and strengthening our talent bench. Our actions remain centered around perennially improving our cost structure through cycles and intensifying capital allocation and cash generation as a company-wide discipline. Our direction is steadfast.
Our free cash flow from operations in the third quarter increased to $123 million. We are confident in our ability to generate positive free cash flow every quarter going forward and on a full year basis this year and beyond. Our path further takes us towards operating excellence and a strict focus on our industrial core.”

Third Quarter 2015 Results
Revenue for the third quarter of 2015 was $2.24 billion compared with $2.39 billion in the second quarter of 2015 and $3.88 billion in the third quarter of 2014. Third quarter revenues declined 6% sequentially and 42% from the prior year. Sequentially, North America and Land Drilling Rigs improved, and were offset by the decline in International revenues.
Net loss on a non-GAAP basis for the third quarter of 2015 was $42 million (net loss of $0.05 per share), compared to a net loss of $77 million in the second quarter of 2015 (net loss of $0.10 per share), and a net income of $248 million in the third quarter of the prior year (net income of $0.32 per share).
GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2015 was $170 million, or a net loss of $0.22 per share.
After-tax charges of $128 million for the third quarter include:
• | $47 million (pre-tax $40 million), net of legacy contract charges; |
• | $40 million (pre-tax $51 million), of costs mostly related to severance and facility closures from our 2015 cost reduction plan; |
• | $26 million (pre-tax $26 million), due to foreign currency devaluation and related charges primarily in Angola; and |
• | $15 million (pre-tax $26 million), working capital true-ups related to our 2014 divestiture activity and other professional fees. |
Operating income margin of 5.4% for the third quarter increased by 47 basis points sequentially, reflecting the benefits from our aggressive cost cutting measures in response to decreased pricing and activity and decreased by 1,008 basis points compared to the third quarter of 2014. Despite the 6% reduction in revenue, operating income improved sequentially with 2% incrementals and low decrementals of 29% compared to the third quarter of 2014. For the first nine months of this year, our decrementals were a best-in-class 28% compared with 140% in 2009, clearly reflecting our ability to match activity declines with structural cost reductions, while balancing our market share position.
Segment Highlights
Beginning in the first quarter of 2015, the regional results reflect the core Weatherford businesses, while the Land Drilling Rigs business results are disclosed as a separate operating segment. Prior period numbers have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
North America
Third quarter revenues of $824 million were up $16 million, or 2% sequentially, and down $990 million, or 55%, over the same quarter in the prior year. Third quarter operating losses reduced by $38 million sequentially to $54 million and were down $348 million from the operating income in the same quarter in the prior year. The sequential revenue growth reflected a very modest recovery from the spring break up in Canada that more than offset a slight U.S. decline. The revenue performance in the U.S. easily outperformed the reduction in U.S. Land horizontal rig count of 7% with market share gains across several product lines. Operating income improved sequentially due to higher revenues and the increasing impact of the cost reduction and efficiency measures taken
3
through this year. Sequential incrementals were 246% while year-on-year decrementals were 35%. On a year-to-date basis, decrementals versus 2014 were 40% compared with 54% during the previous downturn in 2009.
International Operations
Third quarter revenues of $1.2 billion were down $170 million, or 12% sequentially, and down $552 million, or 31%, over the same quarter in the prior year. Third quarter operating income of $158 million (12.9% margin) was down $47 million sequentially and by $137 million from the same quarter in the prior year.
• | Latin America |
Third quarter revenues of $421 million were down $42 million, or 9% sequentially, and down $170 million, or 29%, compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Third quarter operating income of $73 million (17.7% margin) was down 13% sequentially, and down 24%, compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The sequential revenue decline was primarily due to reduced activity in Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, and Colombia, reflecting deep customer spending cuts. Operating income declines were driven by the lower revenue during the quarter, partly offset by vigorous and proactive cost reductions. Sequential decrementals were 25% while year-on-year decrementals were 13%. On a year-to-date basis, decrementals versus 2014 were a mere 4%.
• | Europe/Sub-Sahara Africa/Russia |
Third quarter revenues of $361 million were down $57 million, or 14% sequentially, and down $194 million, or 35%, over the same quarter in the prior year. Third quarter operating income of $43 million (11.7% margin) was down $22 million or 36% sequentially, and down 65% when compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Revenue declined due to the drop in activity levels in the North Sea as well as in Angola and Gabon in Sub-Sahara Africa, while Russia activity was strong, but suffered from a foreign exchange impact sequentially. Net of foreign exchange currency rate changes, Russia revenue was sequentially higher with strong margins. Overall operating income in the quarter was negatively affected by project delays across the Europe/Caspian region and cancellations across Sub-Sahara Africa, coupled with pricing concessions.
• | Middle East/North Africa/Asia Pacific |
Third quarter revenues of $445 million were down $71 million, or 14% sequentially, and down $188 million, or 30%, over the same quarter in the prior year. Third quarter operating income of $42 million (9.3% margin) was down 24% sequentially and down 47% from the same quarter in the prior year. As the Early Production Facilities legacy contract in Iraq draws to a close, revenue recognition on the contract declines naturally. Excluding the decline in this contract, overall revenue was down 10% sequentially, mainly due to project delays in the Middle East, coupled with weakness in the AsiaPacific region, particularly in Australia. Low operating income decrementals of 19% were helped by the continued cost reduction measures responsive to the activity declines.
Land Drilling Rigs
Third quarter revenues of $186 million were up $1 million, or 1% sequentially, and down $98 million, or 34%, compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Third quarter operating income of $16 million (8.4% margin) was up $12 million sequentially with a 622 basis point increase and up $7 million from the same quarter in the prior year. Sequential revenues in international drilling remain flat in the third quarter. Operating income increased primarily due to improved efficiency in overall operations and early termination fees from contract cancellations.

Free Cash Flow and Net Debt
Free cash flow from operations was $123 million. Given that the third quarter is an interest payment heavy quarter coupled with continuing cash costs for the Zubair project in Iraq of $33 million and severance cash cost and payments of $46 million, this free cash flow performance reflects the focus and determination to consistently produce positive cash results. Working capital balances generated free cash of $170 million during the quarter, due to continuing improvements from strong customer collections and reductions in inventory levels. Capital expenditures of $105 million (net of lost-in-hole) in the third quarter were down sequentially by 34% and down 70% from the same quarter of the prior year, showing continued sequential reductions for the third consecutive quarter from our tightly controlled spending in the current environment.
During the quarter, we also opportunistically repurchased $236 million book value of our long-term debt, generating a one-time pre-tax gain of $35 million, while also reducing our future annual interest costs by $15 million. This action demonstrates our confidence in generating enough free cash flow from operations consistently, allowing us to not only manage business needs but also manage maturing debt in 2016 and 2017, which we expect to repay with free cash flow.
Outlook
We expect positive free cash flow in the fourth quarter and for the full year driven by further reductions in working capital balances, and continued discipline on capital expenditure spending. The full year forecast for capital expenditures has now been further revised downwards by another $100 million to $650 million, which is 55% lower than 2014 levels.
We successfully completed all of the previously announced headcount reduction of 11,000 during the third quarter. This target has been revised upward to 14,000 with an increased focus on support positions to be completed by year end. In addition to our headcount reductions, we have closed five of our planned seven manufacturing and service facilities. We will close one more by the end of the year, and the remaining closure will occur in 2016. We have also closed over 60 operating facilities across North America through the first half of 2015 and over 70 through September 30, 2015. We plan to close approximately 90 by the end of the year. The aggregate results of these measures will mitigate the effects of the downturn. Market conditions may continue to remain increasingly challenged and to help offset the decline, we plan to further reduce our cost structure to reflect the current environment.
Bernard J. Duroc-Danner, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, “Market conditions will experience further near-term activity reductions in the U.S., Latin America, and Sub-Sahara Africa. We believe that Asia Pacific has bottomed out as a market, while we expect the Middle East/North Africa and Russia to remain robust. Over the medium term, we expect commodity prices to recover as the global oil supply and demand forces re-balance, sparking some early activity improvements in the second half of 2016. Pricing will continue to remain weak until 2017.
We will take advantage of this environment and continue to aggressively rationalize our cost base, upgrade our talent bench and generate positive free cash flow from operations. We will continue to exhibit spending restraint and discipline right through 2016 and 2017. Counting all of the cost reduction measures we have undertaken in 2014 and 2015, by the end of this year, we will have generated total cost savings of $2 billion, of which $600 million is as permanent as it is structural. We believe we can exit this down
5
cycle, as a leaner, de-layered, more efficient and streamlined organization, ready to respond to market needs. Our actions will ensure very strong incrementals when the recovery unfolds, both in earnings and in free cash flow.
In the first nine months of 2015, we have recorded overall company decrementals of 28% when compared to 2014. We believe this statistic is among the best in the industry and reflects the focus and discipline we have exhibited this year. In the last downturn in 2009, the comparative number was a poor 140%, meaning that our operating income declined more than revenue.
Our balance sheet will be managed pro-actively with debt paydowns out of free cash flow over the next three years. We feel confident in our ability to de-lever the balance sheet.”

We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, Weatherford’s management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios (as defined under the SEC’s Regulation G) may provide users of this financial information, additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results of prior periods. The non-GAAP amounts shown below should not be considered as substitutes for cash flow information prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP, but should be viewed in addition to the Company’s reported cash flow statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

“Free Cash Flow” is defined as net cash provided by or used in operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow is an important indicator of how much cash is generated or used by our normal business operations, including capital expenditures. Management uses free cash flow as a measure of progress on its capital efficiency and cash flow initiatives.
